Emergency services: the numbers to call for Fire, Police and Ambulance. Also drug help, poisons and emergency doctors, hospitals and blood transfusion services. Plus Consular contacts: where to call if you need your country's help.
National Emergency NumbersNote: to ensure you can speak to an English-speaking operator call the Tourist Police or in the case of an accident, an ambulance service from one of the many international hospitals in Thailand. Below the emergency service numbers is contact information for local Bangkok helplines, English-speaking ambulance services, private emergency hospitals, pharmacies, blood transfusion services, Bangkok police stations and the Consular contacts for personal crises.
Useful Numbers & Helplines in Bangkok
Bangkok Private Ambulances (English speaking)Some of the numbers below are for a central reception, where there will be an English-speaking person able to call an ambulance.
Bangkok Private Hospitals (Emergency Numbers)Some of the numbers below are for a central reception, where there will be an English-speaking person able to organise appropriate help.
Thai Government HospitalsAll doctors will speak English in government hospitals and the standard of care is generally excellent, although waiting times can be long. In an emergency it is better to use a Thai speaker to call for an ambulance as it is by no means certain that the numbers below will get through to an English speaker.
PharmaciesIn general, pharmacies are open from 09:00-21:00, although some smaller pharmacies may be open before or after these times. There is more likely to be an English-speaking assistant in a pharmacy in a large department store or one of the many branches of Boots. For assistance outside these opening hours it is best to go to a hospital. Blood Transfusion ServicesRhesus negative blood is not common in Thai people and foreigners may find it is in short supply if required. Below is a centre that carries a supply of RH Negative blood and also a volunteer service that keeps a register of donors.
Bangkok Police Stations
Personal Crises, Embassies & PassportsThe Consular office of the Embassy of a foreign national in Thailand has the responsibility - and the facilities - to provide help and information to a citizen in distress. This may be as a result of being a victim of crime, arrested on suspicion of committing a crime, serious illness, the unexpected death of a partner or spouse, as well as help with repatriation after a crisis. Consular offices also provide help in the case of a lost or stolen passport.
